The Student Employment Program helps promote student learning by locating on-campus and off-campus work sites.

Students have employment opportunities consistent with their chosen field of study. Employers and supervisors are encouraged to provide work hours that fit within the students' class schedule. Hourly pay rates vary and currently start at the minimum wage (currently $9.00 per hour); however, some positions may start at a higher rate of pay.

Students must have a valid social security card and picture ID with the same name in which they register for classes. Additionally, each program requires specific reporting documentation. Please view the links below for specific information on these programs.
